Let's go to the Man 56 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: of the hour. Too Sweet to be Sour, that's Will Fuller. 57 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: What a day the man had. And what I love 58 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: about Will is he gives credit to any body and 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: everybody but himself. I mean he is, He's really honest. 60 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean he's for Philadelphia. I mean he just he 61 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: tells you like it is. But he's so gracious to everyone. 62 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: He gives thanks. You don't see him with huge celebrations. 63 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean he's sitting on his backside and just throws 64 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: the football the stands after scoring his third touchdown yesterday, 65 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: the game winner, and he said, you know what, Yandery 66 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: Hopkins creates a ton of openings for me. Like I 67 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: always say, it's easy. You know, he gets a lot 68 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: of you know, cover just thrown his way. And I'll 69 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: feel like that's why he brought me here to help 70 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: him out. And it took me a while, but you know, 71 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: I finally had his big game. Well here's the thing, 72 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: and Will won't tell you this bible. Will has had 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: big games before. He's had big games before, and he 74 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: was on the verge last year after that game against 75 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: Miami of unleashing on the league and unfortunately towards a 76 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: sail in that game and missed the second half of 77 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen season. But teams have to pick their 78 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: poison now, like, man, wait a second, we gotta think 79 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: about this. How are we going to handle both these guys? 80 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: You know, by the way Kenny stills, hopefully we'll be 81 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: back soon. And Q made three big catches all three 82 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: all three catches for Kiki went for first down yesterday. 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on. But DeAndre Hopkins is 84 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: the best in the league. He opens things up for 85 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people. And Will Fuller admitted as such. Now, 86 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: I mentioned that knee injury, and Fuller has come back 87 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: and he's played in every game this year and hopefully 88 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: it stays that way. On the injury report on one 89 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: on Wednesdays, a lot of times he'll say no injury related. 90 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I think that's sort of code for load management, so 91 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: to speak. You get that in the NBA. Load Hey, 92 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: this guy's not gonna play him back to backs, etc. 93 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: And that's to make sure that Will is as close 94 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: to one hundred percent as possible. He said after the game. 95 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: You know, the knee is still something that he definitely 96 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: has to monitor, make sure it's still fully healthy. I'm 97 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: still working on some things too. You know, it still 98 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: gets stiff here and there, so I'm still working on 99 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: some things, still going and treatment, taking care of my knee. 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely health, you know played a big part. 101 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'm starting to feel more and more like myself, 102 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: like you said, but no, just staying on top of 103 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: it because you know it's a serious injury, so I 104 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: wanted to get stiff. The one thing about Will that 105 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 1: struck me yesterday is if that guy's not one hundred 106 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: percent because I heard that. I heard that quote listening 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: later on at home and I heard that, and I 108 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: was like, if he's not a one hundred percent right now, 109 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: how scary is it gonna be when he is at 110 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent for defenses? I mean, how scary is 111 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: that gonna be? I mean, he can away from you now. 112 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. I just mentioned the receivers and what that 113 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: group can do. Kenny and that group kicking a group 114 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: obviously Hop and Will, and Will said it doesn't matter 115 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: what secondaries, dude, we can exploit anybody back there. We 116 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: feel like that every week. You know, we feel like 117 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: Kenny wasn'no there today, but we feel like our receivers 118 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: meet Kenny Hop and kicking the can. You know, we 119 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: can take over a game at any point, So, I 120 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: mean I had to beginning today, but it could have 121 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: been anybody out there, That's true. It could have been anybody. 122 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: And it was like that in in Los Angeles. The 123 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: tight ends had big days, but Hot made big plays 124 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: in that game against New Orleans. It was hop yesterday, 125 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: it was Will and we were kind of waiting for 126 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: it to happen at home, and it happened in a 127 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: big way. There's no no question about it. Now each 128 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: and every well, it seems to happen each and every week. 129 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's asked about defensive coverages and what they're doing defensively, 130 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: and he takes a little while to kind of explain 131 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: with the the opponent's doing. Will did that as well, 132 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: he just didn't do it for as long as the 133 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Sean does. Let's listen to Will explain what the Falcons 134 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: were doing defensively, zoning a lot of things off, so 135 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: we really had a lot of free We're running into 136 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: the coverages, you know, untouched. So that really helped us 137 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: out a lot. And you know, as I started game later, 138 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: they started challenging a little more, but I think we 139 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: took advantage to match them today. So what Will was 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: saying was early on, they tried to zone them off. 141 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: They've tried to play zone, they try to jump routes. 142 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: Will's first touchdown was against the Cover two, which is 143 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: a coverage in which you got two safeties deep and 144 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: then you got two corners kind of plain shallow, and 145 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: what you can kind of do is close in the 146 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: coverage to the corner of the safety, kind of squeeze 147 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: that in and that's what Deshan did. If the corner 148 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: doesn't react quickly enough, if the safety doesn't get off 149 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: the hash, then you could squeeze it in there. And 150 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: that's what the Sean was able to do on that 151 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: first one. But then the Falcons got down and it 152 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: felt like, man, we better bring some heat. We better 153 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: we might try and play these guys man coverage, and 154 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: then it's done. Once you get the man coverage against 155 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: these guys, forget it. And a number of plays later 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: on came as a result of the zone coverage. So 157 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: let's listen to what the shoan had to say, because 158 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: you know he's breaking it down. This has become kind 159 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: of a social media firestorm, and something say the firestorms 160 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: was bad, right, It's kind of a viral thing that 161 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: whenever he goes to the podium, everybody across the country 162 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: is waiting to hear what he has to say to 163 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: break down the Falcons D. So the Sean broke down 164 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: the Falcons D. After the game at the podium, they 165 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: played a lot of man, different vari issues of man. 166 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: Played a lot of Diamond front, which is diamond front 167 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: is if five across the center's head up. You know, 168 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: the two guards are covered up. Got the two white 169 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: ends for Vic Beasley and McKenzie and and then you 170 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: know you have to linebacker Don and and sometimes they 171 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: play man. Sometimes they can drop out and play Tampa. 172 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: They do a little bit zone. They try to do it, 173 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, and their pressure and empty was the brand 174 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: of Star pressing them and captain safety. But I just 175 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: threw hot both times. One time Hot was there and 176 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: he didn't recognized that. I told him that break out 177 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: Hot and he kept running. He's uh, seam route. So 178 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: I just took it up the middle um and then 179 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, a different zone packages. They played cover six, 180 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, zone it off and then they played Diamond 181 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: two and popped out. So they did a lot of 182 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: different things. Lowing the red zone. They played. We call 183 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: it zero rats where it's it's no safety in the 184 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: middle and that rat defender which is thirty seven double hop. Uh, 185 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: so it leaves everyone else one on one. So that's 186 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: why it fails. H And Will was able to you know, 187 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: connect and win because it was just one on one matchup. 188 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: So uh. And they did a little other stuff, but 189 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: you know then you know, zone red package. They made 190 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: sure they contain me and not let me pull it. 191 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: So um, you know, we just you know, locked in 192 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: on each and every play and try to make sure 193 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: that we knew exactly what they were doing. PA's football 194 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: pouring in some stats, I mean in the nicest way. 195 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: I could listen to Sean talk about that all day. 196 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he does such a great job of breaking 197 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: it down and and giving football people what they want 198 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: to hear. But I think for people that don't quite 199 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: understand everything that he's talking about still to hear their 200 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: quarterback saying, hey, here's what they're doing, here's how we 201 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: beat it. They got me on this one, but we 202 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: came back to it later. I mean, giving you a 203 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: kind of an idea of what goes on for a 204 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: quarterback in an NFL game. I think it's fascinating. I 205 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: think it is truly, truly fascinating. And he mentioned at 206 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: his press conference last Wednesday, he said, I wish that 207 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: Drew Brees and Tom Brady would do that, and yeah, 208 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: they've been around for a while, so they're they're probably 209 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: not gonna do it. But man, I love it and 210 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: people love it too. I haven't seen anybody on Twitter, 211 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: which is my only social medium, that's the only one 212 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: I go to. People across the country. Football heads, people 213 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: I respect football as are like, I love this, absolutely 214 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: love this. So it's really cool to him talk about that. 215 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: And of course, one of these days we'll try and 216 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: sit down with him, and I'd love to be able 217 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: to continue to talk to him about this, and you know, 218 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: there might be some time where I try and show you, hey, 219 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: this is what the Shawn's talking about. Here's the diamond. 220 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: It's sort of a tight front. It's basically a five 221 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: man in front with the linebacker and then diamond two. 222 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, Cover two. We just talked about that. You 223 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: know what cover two actually is and all the different 224 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: things that DeShawn talked about and the way he talks 225 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: about it, he makes it sound so simple and yet 226 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: it was. It's not there's no question about that. Now. 227 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: Will Fuller, we just mentioned and we've talked about Will 228 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: a lot. We heard from Will, and DeShawn obviously thrown 229 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: him the football. Big part of the day for Will 230 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: fourteen for two fourteen catches for two hundred seventeen yards, 231 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, big day, Watson said, it was part of us, 232 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: part of reading what the Falcons were doing in the secondary. 233 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: We want to throw the ball. We have the weapons. 234 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: We gotta get the ball, you know, our receiver as 235 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: the ball and let them they place. And you know 236 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: that's my mentality and that's what I said last week 237 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: and throughout this week. It's take them all the defense 238 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: give us and then let the receivers, you know what 239 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: they get paid for it to make plays down field 240 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: and create room and you know, try to get the 241 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: defense run as side aside. If we can do that 242 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: and get them tired, and then the big players gonna 243 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: open up and the big plays came. We'll do tell 244 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: straighter on Will's second touchdown, and that was really a 245 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: result of the tempo. But tempo really got them and 246 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: you can see it on you You'll see it on 247 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: a Tell straight clip I did with coach O'Brien. It 248 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: was really good. It's a play the Texans run a lot. 249 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: They run this play a lot, and I've seen them 250 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: do it against Cover three, which they got and it's 251 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: just one mistake if you make one mistake against it. 252 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: And I think the mistake came because of the fatigue 253 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: of the tempo. Isaiah Olive, I don't think ever got 254 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: the call. He ran with hop across the formation, and 255 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: when he did, Sean knew, hit that thing to Fuller, 256 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: it's a touchdown. Safety stayed deep in the middle of 257 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: the field. He has no chance zip to a Fuller touchdown. 258 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: It was a big day for everybody on the offense, 259 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: and Sean said afterwards, look, we needed to atone for 260 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: last week's game against the Carolina Panthers. That was bad. 261 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: We had to tone for it. It's something that we wanted. 262 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: We took pride, we took personal We knew what we 263 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: had to do, especially offensively. You know, if we had 264 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: to go in n SQ, we had to brand the energy, 265 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: play fast, do what we do and and you know, 266 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: make sure that every time we said the ball, we 267 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: try to am with points. And then the defense did 268 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: their part and handling their own and it was a 269 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: great team win. Yeah, it definitely was. The defense handled 270 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: their own, no doubt about it. In fact, let's hear 271 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,239 Speaker 1: from JJ Watt. He got a couple of fifteen yard penalties, 272 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: but that isn't really the key. He was very happy 273 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: with the pressure that they were able to get on 274 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan got after him a bit. I mean, it's 275 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: good when you can build up a bit of a 276 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: lead and have you know, they have to throw the 277 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: ball in a second half there, so you get a 278 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: chance to get after him. That's good, that's good. I 279 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: know he only had one sack in this game, and 280 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: I say only because we've seen so many games at 281 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: JJ with multiple sacks. To me, of the five games 282 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: this year, and I think, honestly, I think JJ has 283 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: played very well this year. Take numbers out just away. 284 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: He rushed to quarterback, the number of times he has 285 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: created pressure on the quarterback, forcing the quarterback that moved 286 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: get off the spot. Whatever I thought yesterday he unleashed, 287 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: I think he absolutely at leashed now his sack from yesterday. 288 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: He gave a little bit of a tribute to Houston athlete. 289 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: I thought this was really cool. Obviously, I'm a big 290 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: Astros fan, as I am a big Rockets fan and 291 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: a big Texans fan. I was really I was really 292 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: glad to see JJ paid subtribute to one Alex Bregman 293 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: with his sack celebration. The celebration was just an ode 294 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: to a great game he had yesterday. And uh, I mean, 295 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to watch those guys, and 296 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: it's fun to be to be able to support such 297 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: a great team and to have Houston all on one. 298 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: You know, we're one big fan, We're one big team, 299 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: so it's a lot of fun to be able to 300 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: support each other. And those guys are killing her. I 301 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: mean between Bryland during Cole and everybody over there, inn 302 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: l Tuvan Brag and Cray and I mean that's the 303 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: second All Star team, so it's a lot of fun 304 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: to watch him. We love watching them THOSSI love their 305 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: way well today it goes as well for the Astrost 306 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: as everybody wanted. But I love the fact that JJ 307 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: did pay homage to Alex Bregman with that sack celebration. 308 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: I think we put it on social media from our 309 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: Texas Twitter account showing Bregman celebration showing JJ celebration. JJ 310 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: probably could have had three sacks yesterday. He moved round 311 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: off the spot for one that reader ended up with. 312 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: He got the one he got held I think two times, 313 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: maybe three times. That's that's one that we don't talk about. 314 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: We talk about the pressure JA moving him off to 315 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: the spot doing that. The holdings he generates are just 316 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: as good as sacks, and he generated I think one 317 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: for sure. I want to say there were two others 318 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: one man. I don't know. My numbers are off. I 319 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: don't want for sure, I don't want for sure. He 320 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: could have gotten a couple of others because as they 321 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: just couldn't handle them. Caleb McGarry is probably seeing watton 322 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: as nightmares and Wes Schweitzer. He's probably seeing watton As 323 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: nightmares as well. That right side had to deal with 324 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: Watt all day and it was not not pretty at all. 325 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: So there you go.

Welcome back to the show, Texas All Access 334 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: from the Honday Texans Radio studio, I'm your host, John 335 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: Harris started to catch up with the general John McClean. 336 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: What did you think of what you saw yesterday, especially 337 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: following last week? But there was spectacular, so much fun 338 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: to watch. Bob mcnaro would have been so excited for 339 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: slightly embarrassed that he was induction, of course, but it 340 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: was a great afternoon for everybody. You know what, John, 341 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: we spent the first thirty minutes talking today and we 342 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: have failed to mention the five stars of the game 343 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: that we needed to mention. Zero sacks, one quarterback hit. 344 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: And I know the passing game is about an operation. 345 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: I get all that kind of stuff. But John Zach 346 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: Fulton went back in the lineup and it looked very 347 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: similar to the way it looked out in LA against 348 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers. What do you think this says about the 349 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: progress of this offensive line? Tether and oh, by the way, 350 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: they also ran for one hundred and sixty six yards, 351 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: averaging nearly five yards of pop. What do you think 352 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: of the front five? John, That's the five day won 353 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: the end. They would have been their last week. Zach 354 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: Bolton at a back issue that played up before the game, 355 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: so they couldn't play him. Greg Mans has a concussion, 356 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: so he's out. So this is the five and as 357 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: long as they stay healthy, they'll be together. And you know, 358 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: as the more they worked together, the better they're gonna get. 359 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: Yesterday was an example of that. That's only the second 360 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: time Watson has never been sacked. In the two games 361 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: that he hasn't been sacked, he's been a phenomenal. And 362 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: to have the balance that they had their real problem 363 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: for defenses. And I guarantee you the Chiefs who couldn't 364 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: stop the Colts running game last year in the playoff loss, 365 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: they couldn't stop the running game of the Patriots. So 366 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: I imagine that they'll run the ball a lot. And 367 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: Watson of course is using the past to set up 368 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: to run. And you know, I don't know why the 369 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: performance against the Panthers happened. That was a string of 370 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: five in a row, including the playoff game. Going back 371 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: to last season, five consecutive home games in which the 372 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: offense didn't produce and then all of a sudden it exploded. 373 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: And I would expect with all these weapons they got 374 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: the improved past protection, We're not going to see fifty 375 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: eight points every week. Of course, we're not going to 376 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: see five hundred ninety two yards, but I think we're 377 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: going to see the prolific offense we all expected before 378 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: the season. John you mentioned maybe they can run the 379 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: ball against Kansas City, and that would be great. But 380 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: if I'm the Chiefs, I'm wondering, well, how are they 381 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: going to handle this passing attack? Because if Kenny Steals 382 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: comes back, the element of surprises there more than ever. 383 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: He was good before he went out. And then QT 384 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: has three for seventy two yesterday, shipping in if you will, 385 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: and I use that term in a funny sort of way, 386 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: but Fuller hopped ins. What about these receivers, these pass catchers, 387 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: And I'll throw Darren Fells in there too with his 388 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: two TD catches. Going into this weekend, the Texans had 389 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: nine catches of thirty or more yard, second to the Chiefs, 390 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: and four of those were turned in by Kenny Stiles 391 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: and Fuller head four yesterday GGGT AD one. I can't 392 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: remember if there was another one. So being able to 393 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: hit the big play down the field with plethora of 394 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: big play receivers is reminiscent of what the Chiefs had 395 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: done so well the last two years. You know, if 396 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: the weather's good, I think you'll see my homes and 397 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: once and putting on a Henck of his show, they 398 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: Steals can come back. One of the reasons they wanted 399 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: him was his durability with New Orleans and Miami, so 400 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: I hope he won't be out long. But it's it 401 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: buzzed very well when you can replace Kenny Steals with 402 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: a healthy geekqut and the more you see will Fuller do. 403 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: What he did yesterday was in one of the best 404 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: performances in history by a Jean's receiver, and that's saying something. 405 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: When you got Andre Johnson DeAndre Hopkins their nightmare for 406 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators. John I know the defenses had thrown a 407 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: party in their room giving up thirty two points, or 408 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: at least that was the number on the scoreboard. They 409 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: gave up a short field on one of them. A 410 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: couple of fifteen yard penalties from JJ put them in 411 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: position for another one at some point. But it felt 412 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: like the defense did a really solid job yesterday, and 413 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: I would say it was great, but it definitely was 414 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: not what it could have been against an offense like that. 415 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: What if you think over all the way the defense played, 416 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: We hadn't really talked about that aspect of it holding 417 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan a three hundred and thirty yards, but it 418 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: took forty eight dropbacks for him to do that. What 419 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: do you think of the way they played. That's the 420 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: fourth consecutive game in which they've played run defense the 421 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: way they've played it in the past. They got off 422 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: to the slow start against the Saints, and then the 423 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: last four they haven't allowed ninety five yards and their 424 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: run defensive average keeps going down the way we always 425 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: thought it would be. And Water of course got a 426 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: sack hit five hits on Matt Ryan. And I think 427 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: this one thing that stood out to me was the 428 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: two twenty nine year old safeties signed the one year 429 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: deals Sean Gibson. They had a seventy nine yard interception 430 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: returned for touchdown. He's going to be so important against 431 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs because of Travis Kelsey. One of the reasons 432 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: they wanted Gibson because he did such a good job 433 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: against Rob Gronkowski and Zach Ertz last season, and then 434 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: Jollella died led the team and tackles, including nineine assistant 435 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: So those safeties were getting getting involved in the action. 436 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: And they're gonna have the safeties as well as the corners. 437 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna have their hands full with the Kansas City receivers, 438 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: especially if Tyree Kill comes back. You know, he practiced 439 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: last week. They held him out another game. Don't know 440 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: what his status is, but this is going to be 441 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: the toughest game of the year for the defense. All right, 442 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: general bouncing around a little bit here we mentioned Kansas City. 443 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: What about the Colts and their performance last night and 444 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: beating the Chiefs at Arrowheads Stadium A bit of a surprise, 445 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: to say the least, a bit of a surprise. It 446 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: was astonishing for the Colts to go in there and 447 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: run the ball the way they did, the same philosophy 448 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: as the Patriots had in the playoffs, and their defense 449 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: played great, and they were missing Malee Cooker and Darius 450 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: Leonard and lost Kenneth Terrey pass rusher, so that Matt 451 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: Hiberflos is doing that great job with their defense to 452 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: Kobe Brosette Ranford touchdown, Marlon Mack ran the ball really well. 453 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: That's going to have to be there. I don't think 454 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: Rosette will ever throw for three hundred yards. If he does, 455 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: is because they'll be in coming from behind mode. But 456 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: that was so impressive what they did. And my homes 457 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: ended up with three hundred twenty three yards but only 458 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: the one touchdown, which is and he threw his first interception. 459 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: Guess which quarterbacks have eleven touchdown passes and one interception. 460 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: The two are going to be across from each not 461 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: across from each other, but on opposite sidelines. Sunday Watson 462 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: has caught him with that incredible performance yesterday. But I 463 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: gave weight to see it. I gave I'm so fired 464 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: up about this game, probably mortis than any regular season 465 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: game that didn't have something to do with the playoffs 466 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: or was not the first game of the season. John 467 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: five o'clock this morning on the East Coast, Jake Rudin 468 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: found out his fate, and that is he is no 469 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: longer the Washington Redskins head coach. I don't even know 470 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: where this goes. But Bruce Allen has been in charge 471 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: there and things have not gone well for the Redskins 472 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: since he's really been in charge. I guess they had 473 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: a playoff appearance one year, that the cold Kirk Cousins thing, 474 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: and then this year has been an abomination. What's going 475 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: on in Washington and what do you expect to happen 476 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: in Washington? First of all, I would not have changed 477 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: the coach. Go ahead and keep losing. You got a 478 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: number one pick, maybe you turn it into multiple picks. 479 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: The team that needs a quarterback. Now, maybe they get 480 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: a lift and win a couple of two games. But 481 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: they're just bad. They're bad all around. Nobody's watching them play. 482 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is, but I think 483 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: they may in trouble getting a head coach to go 484 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: there work for Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder. Wow, that's 485 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: a horrible thing to say, but it's a good point 486 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: because they invested in a quarterback and they don't seem 487 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: to want to play him right now. All right, John, 488 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: Back to the division here, Tennessee. Impressive performance on the 489 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 1: road last week. Yesterday not so much. Marcus Mariota no picks, 490 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: but he sacked five times by the blah blaffalo Bill's 491 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: defense and they put up only seven on the board 492 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: and a loss at home. Your thoughts. They got back 493 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: Taylor Lawe, they're left tackle from suspension, and it didn't help. 494 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: They didn't run the ball very well. They're only touchdown 495 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: was scored. But Derek Henry Mariota, after throwing three judgdown 496 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: passes in the first half in Atlanta and looking so good, 497 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 1: no consistency, couldn't move the ball. You know, They're just 498 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: they're on a roller coaster there. They're up when you 499 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: think they're down, they're down when you think they're up. 500 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: And right now they're two and three and the game 501 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: out of first place, and the division is competitive. It's exciting, 502 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's a great division like I 503 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: thought it would be before the season. And I think 504 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: the Titans so far have been a huge disappointment. Well, 505 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: it might not be a great division with the backup quarterbacks, 506 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: but Jacoby percent did be Kansas City last night. Now 507 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: Minshew goes into Carolina. I think Carolina is pretty good. 508 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen is pretty They have a good defense. We 509 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: saw it up close in personal last week er thoughts 510 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: on that matchup with the Panthers beating the Jaguars. Now, 511 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: let me ask you guys a question as simple, yes 512 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: or no. When Falls is ready, does he come back? 513 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: Yes or no? I think in Jacksonville, because of the 514 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: two individuals in charge, I think Falls will get his 515 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: job back. Mark, I think so too. I think Falls 516 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: is bad. I think here's the thing. If they keep winning, 517 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: if they're winning when Falls is ready, they might delay 518 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: it as long, like, hey, big fellow, you need another 519 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: week or two or whatever. But if they string together 520 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: a couple of losses, you know, I don't want to 521 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: say I don't care how well Minshe's playing, but that's 522 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a huge factor in putting Falls back in. 523 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of it has to do 524 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: with team performance, John, as to how quickly they bring 525 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: them back as soon as Minsha's in a tough spot, 526 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: Because as soon as they falter and the wind lost 527 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,239 Speaker 1: column like they did yesterday, Foles is going to be 528 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: back in if he's healthy, There's no question, John. The 529 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys just lost to two pretty good teams, the 530 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: Saints twelfth to ten on the road last Sunday night, 531 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: and then the Packers yesterday but at home, and they 532 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: did not look good doing in thirty four to twenty four. 533 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: And I guess the Packers are kind of a surprise 534 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: this year, especially after we saw them up close and personal, 535 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: near in the shadows of lambeau Field in those joint practices, 536 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: then in the preseason game. But what do you make 537 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: of Dallas with this two game losing streak? First time 538 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: I've been impressed with Packers. You know, Matt Lafloor off 539 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: to a good start. We all thought they might have 540 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: he might have problems with Aaron Rodgers. So far, they've 541 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: been tremendous. And the Cowboys, you know, they're fren and 542 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: their fans were already making reservations from Miami and the 543 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think they probably got those plans on 544 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: the whole because they have not looked good the last 545 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: two weeks. Now everybody's saying don't pay Dak Prescott, and 546 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: two weeks ago they were saying, you've got to pay 547 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. So the Cowboys are struggling. But that's good 548 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 1: for the Eagles because they've bounced back love catching up 549 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: with the general reaching every Monday and we also catch 550 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: up with our good friend Andre Ware. We took over 551 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: the broadcast yesterday. What did Mark I have to say 552 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: about that? We're talking about that next right here a 553 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: Texas Access What a final segment of Texas All Access 554 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: from the Hounday Texans radio studio and a reminder matches 555 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: from the official mattress for each other of the Houston 556 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: Texans has got you covered When Texas win, you win 557 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: a mattress from off your Texans mattress for two days 558 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: today tomorrow following the win. They got you covered over 559 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: there at Mattress Firm. I'm your host, John Harris football 560 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: Anlos Southern reporter, Glad to be with you. And on Sunday, 561 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: Andre where and I took over the broadcast because Mark 562 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: had to go down for a halftime celebration for Bob McNair. 563 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: We took over the broadcast. We were we were about 564 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: to not let Mark back in And this is exactly 565 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: where we started our conversation with Dre this morning. So 566 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: how was it doing play by play right before the half? 567 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: Actually awesome. We talked about locking you out for a while, 568 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: but we didn't want you to u to go into 569 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: cardiac arrest. Outside the door. So uh and and I 570 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: where what we decided not to do that to you. 571 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: You know, I had a vision of Drey. I don't 572 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 1: know if you remember this. My very first game at 573 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen against the Washington Redskins, we get knocked off 574 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: the air because of a huge thunderstorm that was going on, 575 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: and about a minute into not being on the air, 576 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: I saw Mark absolutely lose it. I was like, oh boy, 577 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: locking the door. It would have created a situation like 578 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: here's Johnny. I would have been an ax the fire department. 579 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: You know. So for those who don't know, I yeah, 580 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: about eighteen years yea. For those who don't know, I 581 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: went down to the field for the halftime ceremony to 582 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: induct mister mcnern to the Ring of Honor, and we 583 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: had it all timed out where I was going to 584 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: go down on the elevator with the coaches, because the 585 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: assistant coaches come from downstairs or upstairs to downstairs to 586 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: the locker room and it's a very quick trip and 587 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: they're running and I'm running, and I run out on 588 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: to the field and do it. But I had to 589 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: bail with a few seconds left. They were about twenty 590 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: seconds left and the Falcons just scored, So I figured 591 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: maybe the Texans take a knee here or something. It's 592 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: time to go. I cannot be late for that elevator. 593 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: If I missed the elevator, I missed the ceremony, and 594 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: that can't happen. So I'm listening. I'm waiting at the 595 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: elevator door because there are a couple of plays that 596 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: are taking place, and I'm listening to Johnny and Andre 597 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: to the game, and it's a it's an out of 598 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: body experience for me. I'm freaking, you know what. It 599 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: was kind of like listening to the Rolling Stones when 600 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: Keith the singing lead on a couple of songs, like 601 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: it's still the Stone right but and I'm thinking, I 602 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: gotta get back in that booth. But it sounding good. 603 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, don't sound too good. Don't sound too good. Now, 604 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: be careful when you take restroom breaks, go to the 605 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: restroom differing breaks. I'm a get well, he pipped. I'm 606 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: gonna get the signal downstairs. Johnny, he's out. We got 607 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: we got this. Come back from break, come back from 608 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: breaking right now. Anyway, it was you guys did sound 609 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: good and um and we got the job done, and 610 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: the Texans got the job done most importantly yesterday, Andre 611 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: And what did you see from Deshaun Watson? Who looked 612 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback rating stat It gets a lot of criticism, 613 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: but it is what it is, and it was perfect yesterday, 614 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: one fifty eight point three. He's on a list of 615 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks to pitch a perfect game, so to speak, in 616 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: the NFL. Five touchdown passes, no picks and on that. 617 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: It's a long list of seventy five guys who have 618 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: done it in NFL history, but he has. He's tied 619 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: for the most attempts doing it, and the most completions 620 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: for sure doing it, and second most yardage doing it. 621 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: So you've combined all of that and it might be 622 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: the best one ever. It was a phenomenal day for Watson. 623 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: What did you see, Audrey? Yeah, I think of all 624 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: the plays that he made yesterday, the one I think 625 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: they gave him the confidence to play the way he 626 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: did was when he made two players miss he got 627 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, they converge on him and the ball comes out, 628 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: but it bounces right back to him. He picks it 629 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: up and runs for a first down. And I think 630 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: that at that point it was like, oh, oh yeah, 631 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: it's my day in his mind, and it kind of 632 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: looked that way from that point on. During the game, 633 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: I thought he was accurate. Everybody that you know, criticized 634 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: last week and talked about this, that and the other. 635 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: This guy puts the work in. This guy stayed after 636 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, he heard John McClean talk about it three 637 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: hours after the game was over. He was backed down 638 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: on the field after the Carolina game last week, working 639 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: on fundamentals and getting the ball out. And when you 640 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: work that way, it pays off. And just about in 641 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: anything any walk alive, you you put that kind of work, 642 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: in dedication into it, it's gonna pay off at some point. 643 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: Well for him, it paid off a lot faster than others. 644 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: And to the tune of the performance he put in yesterday, 645 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: it was it was absolutely amazing and amazing to watch 646 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: Dre Mark. I were starting to talking about this and 647 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna make this point before we got to 648 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: the break. It felt like the Falcons m O yesterday 649 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: was a stop the run, b do not let DeAndre 650 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: Hopkins wrecked the game, And that was sort of what 651 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: the Texans wanted to do with the Falcons. Stop the 652 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: run and don't let Julio Jones wrecked the game. After yesterday, 653 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 1: do you think that plan changes or how many how 654 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: many games do we have to see will Fuller have 655 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: a game? Maybe not quite like yesterday because that was 656 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: an all timer, But when do we get to a 657 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: point where team they're going, wait a second, um, what 658 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: do we do with this Fuller character when we got 659 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: Hopkins over there and they can run the ball. What 660 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: do you do against this offense? If it stays at 661 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: this clip, We're Fuller's producing at quite a high level. 662 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: You still got Hopkins and he still can run the ball. Yeah, 663 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: I think it put I think it put the NFERL 664 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: on notice of the remainder of the schedule onnoticed that 665 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: you can't just take away Hopkins and stop the running 666 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: game and you're gonna beat the Texans. And I would 667 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: throw the tight ends in there as well. H Aitkins 668 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: had a big first down catch where he tried to 669 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: trunk a defensive back on the tail end of it, 670 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: and then we know what Fails did in the type 671 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: of game that he had. So along with that and 672 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: will Fuller, you're in trouble. It's like picture poison and 673 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: the offensive line I thought gets a lot of credit 674 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: as well because they held up gave the time needed 675 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: for Deshaun to have the type of game that he had, 676 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: for Deshaun to have the time necessary to get the 677 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: ball and push it down the field to Fuller and 678 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: as well Hop when he when they started to now 679 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: shade and go back away from hot because they were 680 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: playing him over the top of press corner and then 681 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph over the top of that to slow down 682 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: DeAndre from getting off the ball. So you know, I'm sorry, 683 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: I'm thinking Julio Jones and the Texans, but they were 684 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: playing Hop that way as well, where there were two 685 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: guys a corner and the safety two his side of 686 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: the field, and all times maybe it just about impossible 687 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 1: to get him the ball. And then all of a sudden, 688 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: Fullers having the type of game that he's having. The 689 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: deep threat is there with him whenever they go zone 690 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: and there's a safety way on the hats so they 691 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: can't get out there. All you gotta do is hold 692 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: him and put it up in the hands. Have gotten 693 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: so much better that you have so much confidence in 694 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: just him making a play for you on the tail ends. 695 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: It's unstoppable. You get that mixed with just a little 696 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: bit of running game and you're in trouble defensively. Andre 697 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: back to Watson for a moment and the way he plays, 698 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 1: and Johnny was talking about it before the game, dancing 699 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: around and look, everybody knows there's a huge cerebral aspect 700 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: to playing this position and everything you have to know 701 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: and account for it the line of scrimmage. Yet you 702 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: mentioned it. He felt like it was his day, maybe 703 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: after that one bounced fumble play that he got back 704 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: and ran for twelve yards in the first down, where 705 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: there's something else that's going on with certain guys where 706 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: he has to feel loose. He has to play freely. 707 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: And we talk about defensive players and needing to play 708 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: with reckless, abandoned sometimes well whatever the offensive equivalent of 709 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: that is, maybe he needs that. Yeah, And I think 710 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: part of coaching quarterbacks are having a relationship with a 711 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: quarterback is knowing that you can't put them in a box. 712 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: And this is how I like to play, So this 713 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 1: is how he needs to play to suit what it 714 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: is I want to do. You gotta know every every 715 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: quarterback is a little bit different, and so he plays 716 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: with a great deal of freedom and rhythm. And yesterday 717 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: he was kind of cut loose some Clemson stuff. You 718 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: saw a little bit of his own read. He saw 719 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 1: some options that gets him engaged into a football game 720 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: where you know, he doesn't necessarily need to be in 721 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: the pocket all the time. He needs to be moving 722 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 1: around where he can just be the Shaun. And that 723 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: is okay, because I would take, okay, yesterday, every single 724 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: Sunday to figure out, you know, I don't need all 725 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: that all the other stuff to figure out this is 726 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: how this guy likes likes to play. Let's change things 727 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: around a little bit where we become how he likes 728 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: to play. And we're a better football team because of it. 729 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: And I thought yesterday he played with a looseness. Not 730 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 1: to mention it. It's his home team, so to speak, 731 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: the team that he worked for for four years during 732 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: training camps and things of that sort. He learned to 733 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: be a professional from and those those things that he 734 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: learned still whole truth today. How to carry himself, how 735 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: to be a pro quarterback, how to prepare himself. And 736 00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: I think he went out and put on the performance 737 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: of his career against the Atlanta Falcons where he's from 738 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: pretty much dred I don't know if you has she 739 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: had to watch Colts Chiefs last night, but Colts get 740 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: a win. And I think the biggest number to come 741 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: out of that was the fact that well two one, 742 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: the Chiefs scored only thirteen points against the Colts defense 743 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,919 Speaker 1: that did not have Lee Cooker, Darius Leonard, etc. And 744 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: the fact that the Colts ran forty five times for 745 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: I think one hundred and eighty six yards on the Chiefs. 746 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 1: That's what the Patriots did to beat the Chiefs DAFC 747 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: Championship game. The Colts physically took over that game. Those 748 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: are the next two opponents. The Colts will get to 749 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: buy before we go to Indy, but the Chiefs are 750 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: under schedule next. It's gonna be a fun game, seeming 751 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: because I'll talk about Mahomes and Watson, but this feels 752 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: like it might come down to the big uglies down 753 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: in front. What do you think of the Chiefs taking 754 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: one on the chin last night to the Colts just 755 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: physically beating him up. Yeah, I'll start with the Colts. 756 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: I have a tremendous amount of respect. As I was 757 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: watching that game and over the course of the last 758 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: two years for Frank Reich and the type of head 759 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: coach that he's become. Uh, you don't have to be 760 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: a genius to know that they got players out. That's 761 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,280 Speaker 1: why they ran at forty five times and Marlon Mack Uh, 762 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: you know the other backs, they're doing their thing at 763 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: a at a pretty high clip against the depleted Kansas 764 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: City front. That's what you do. You don't put all 765 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: the pressure on Jacobe Percette and on t Y Hilton 766 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: and the passing game are trying to hold up. You 767 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: let guys be guys up front. And you know as 768 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 1: well as I do, the offensive line they want to 769 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: fire off and go get somebody and rather than catch 770 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: and protect. And so that was that kind of game. 771 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,959 Speaker 1: I don't know that they do it again the rest 772 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: of the season and get anywhere near forty five carries, 773 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: but it was necessary to win a football game. And uh, 774 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: and that's what he does. Uh With the Kansas City 775 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if they get well or well enough 776 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: uh in a in a week's time to where where 777 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: you know they can they can be. They can look 778 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: like they look in terms of being very explosive on offense. Uh, 779 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to score because they've got so many 780 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: players that are down on defense. They're gonna open it up. 781 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: And I think they get Tarik Heel back next week 782 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: at least that's the chatter that I'm here and that 783 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 1: he may be back in time for the game next week. 784 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: That's an added weapon and a deep threat that opens 785 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: up a guy like Kelsey who was held in check 786 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: last night. But they're still dangerous. It's a very very tough, 787 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: tough environment and place to go and play, and you 788 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: know they're gonna want to get the ship right at 789 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: next week. So it may take much of the same 790 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: where Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson get close to combined 791 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 1: for close to forty five perries in order to beat him, 792 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: because you keep the offense off the field when you 793 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: do that as well. I really like Pat Mahomes and 794 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 1: I think he should take the rest of the year off. 795 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: I just I think he should take the rest of 796 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: the season off. Make sure you're five for twenty twenty. 797 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: You're good, okay, think about think about how to handle him. 798 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: Everybody thinks, well, he used his over nights, and say no, 799 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 1: they red shirted him for a year. Yeah, he sat 800 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: for an entire year until week seven team of his 801 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: rookie year when they finally gave him a start, and 802 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: by then, you know, he was you know, tearing it 803 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: up in practice where it's like they couldn't keep him 804 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: off the field. And now, credit Andy Reid. He just 805 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: allows the kid to play with a freedom, because there 806 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: are some coaches that would coach that right out of him, 807 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: you know, throwing from all arm angles, throwing away from 808 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: his body and this to know, you gotta have your foot, 809 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 1: your footwork, under your feet, under your shoulders. This that 810 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 1: they would coach that right out of him. But Andy 811 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: Reid lets him be himself, and I think he deserves 812 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: a lot of credit for that. I think last night 813 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: when they went for it on fourth down, it was 814 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't an automatic, was five and changed 815 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: to go and they had I think three timeouts if 816 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken a three. But they really really were 817 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: having trouble stopping the coast. The defense was gassed. So 818 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 1: they hit a big play to make it fourth and one, 819 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: and Mahomes I think made the decision to go for it, 820 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: and Andy Reid trusted him, but I didn't like to call. 821 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: They ran it into the line. It was. If I'm 822 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: gonna go for it on fourth and even one, I 823 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: want Mahomes holding the ball doing something with it, even 824 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: with the bad ankle, because he just made a big play. 825 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: Definite make you scratch your head though, when you're running 826 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: the ball effectively and you got got a team spread 827 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: out where they're bigger, bigger holes, better blocking angles, and 828 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: then you're getting fourth and short and you condense everything 829 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 1: down to play their game at this point, why would 830 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 1: you do that?
